      I'm so glad to see this challenge. I had challenged myself to 30 min a day, but after seeing this challenge... I'd like to get in an hour a day.... I have trouble allowing myself to count the leisurely walk around the block with the dog though... Any thoughts? Count that in, but do some higher intensity? or only count the high intensity walking???

      I put my pedometer in my pocket first thing in the morning and put it on the counter in the bathroom last thing at night and count every step and inch that I walk.....it's all good.:bigsmile:

      My pedometer is an Omron HJ-720ITC......it doesn't recognize all the steps I take when I dance so on dance days it doesn't look like I went as far as on days when I walk more.and dance less.:laugh:

      :smile: Just found this thread. Count me in. I started the new year and new month being determined to make walking my choice of exercise. Started Jan 1st with 15 minutes and by January 11 I worked myself up to doing 45 minutes which covers 2 miles. I even have a cross street picked out :smile that takes only 5 minutes. So if I start to slackoff on my walking, I will tell myself just to walk 5 minutes to my cross street. Once I am out I know I will keep walking. Yesterday I walked 45 minutes as well as today, Saturday

      1/11 2 mile
      1/12 2 mile.

      Count me in. I just downloaded Accupedo on my phone to keep track of how many steps I take a day. I have a walking trail right outside of my work so would like to start walking on my 2 fifteen minute breaks and for 30 minutes on my lunch break. So far today I've taken 1085 steps just walking around at work.
